Math problem?

I need your help. Thank you in advance.

So the task is:

A laptop costs 1895 euro. As a student, you get a 15% education discount. Calculate how much the educational discount laptop costs.

How do you calculate that?

100-15 = 85

85% = 0.85

price times 0.85

1895 * 0.85 = don't have a calculator

I would calculate 1895 ÷ 100 and then × 15 so in the 3 sentence and then subtract that from the 1895, but I think there's another way

The answer is the result of the price of the laptop minus the education discount which is 15%.

Aso, thank you very much!

Thank you!

You can also calculate 85% directly - it's faster.

You calculate 1895/100 then you get the value of 1%. You multiply this times (100% -15%) 85 and you have the result.

So 18.95 * 85 = 1610.75 euro
